My granddaughter Ashlyn loved the book everyday angel New Beginnings. She is looking forward to reading the next 2 books. When will they be available to purchase ? Can they be purchased anywhere other that though school book fairs ?

Hi there! I’m so glad she enjoyed the first book! The second will be out in school fairs and in bookstores in August, with the third to follow in fairs/bookstores in either December or Jan. The first will be out in bookstores this May.

Hello,
My name is Hannah. I read the book Everyday Angel. I have a few questions for you. 1: What inspired you to write this book? 2: When/Where can I find the next books? 3: Did you know that you skipped from chapter 22 then jumped to 33 and then back to 24 in your book? I was wondering if this is a mistake or you meant to do that? 4: I liked this book very much because it connected to my life. I have scene my guardian angel. Just like Gabby saw hers in the book. Please send me and e-mail back so I know you saw this.
Thank-You, Hannah Seely

Hi, my name is Alexis Myer and I read your book called EVERYDAY ANGEL, and I loved it so much I wanted to say a few comments and questions about it.
First, I just wanted to say I enjoyed this book very much. I love how it has mystery and charm in it. One of my favorite parts in the book is when Gabi starts to sing in music and loses her smoke that represented her sadness. I thought that was creative how you came up with the smoke. Another thing I liked about the book was how Aria always added pop of color to things, it made me happy thinking about all the colors! Another comment was I love how you represent that everyone has their guardian angel some place out in the world.

Now I wanted to ask you a few questions. First off, how did you come with the idea of this book?
Is there going to be a sequel to this book?
What do you want to teach kids when they read this book?
Are some of the things that happened in the book true?
How did you become an author?
What inspired you to write the book?
When Aria has helped all three girls will she go back to spend time with them?

Those are most of my questions for now, I would really appreciate it if you write back to me. I hope maybe someday I could meet you in person. You have really inspired me, I might want to be an author when I grow up. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Alexis Myer
Grade Sixth

Hi Alexis! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! As for your questions, some of them I can’t answer here because I answer them in the books, so you’ll just have to keep reading to find out. But I will say that Book 2–Second Chances–is out now, and Book 3–Last Wishes–is coming out in January. As for what I wanted to teach kids, that changes with each book. In the first book, it’s about finding your identity/voice, and understanding that there are things in life you can’t control, so it’s important not to lose sight of what you CAN. No, the specific aspects are not true, but all fiction has truth in it. And I became an author by writing A LOT, working to get better and better until I was strong enough to sign with an agent and then a publisher. I was inspired to write the book because I wanted to help girls who might be going through some rough situations, or who might know someone going through that situation.

Your book Everyday Angel: New Beginnings was absolutely amazing! It is my favorite book! I cannot wait to read the second and third book! I enjoy the way you write and your imagination! Keep em’ coming! 😊

Dear Victoria Schwab,
Hello my name is Lauren and i am in 5th grade. Everyday Angel New Beginnings is my favorite book out of all of the books I have ever read! Every time I read a book,I can’t understand them because it’s just not my type of book! Everyday Angel I can acually understand and I love the book! My goal is to read all of your books.
I didn’t really like to read that much,but when I opened the very first page and read it I wanted to keep reading it! I’m done with the book and I can acually picture in my head what is happening. What are some of your other books called? I want to get some. You are my favorite author ever! I hope to hear from you.

Hello :)
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading your books “The Archived” and “The Unbound”. Once I started I couldn’t stop. So thank you for writing those books, I really liked them. Even my boyfriend started reading them now and he is enjoying them as much as I did.
One question: will there be a third a book?
I’m looking forward to your new book “A Darker Shade Of Magic” it sounds very interesting!
